The winery, known as the "Citadella del Vino", is a recently built state-of-the-art facility taking in fruit from 1600 member growers from a variety of terroirs. Wines labeled under the Mezzacorona brand are closely associated with the region's mountainous terrain. The terroir ranges significantly across the vineyards, spanning warm valleys and alpine hillsides. Vineyards are therefor planted to a wide range of grape varieties, from local favorites like Pinot Grigio, Terroldego and Lagrein, to international varieties like Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Many of the vineyards employ the traditional Trentina pergola trellising system. Mezzacorona is most closely associated with a range of varietal wines from Trentino, made under a range of regional appellations, including the Trentino DOC and the Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT classification. Mezzacorona also makes a Terroldego Rotaliano Riserva in the best vintages, as well as a range of sparkling wines from the Trentodoc DOC under the Rotari brand. The Tolloy wine, named after a famous Tyrolean innkeeper of the 18th Century, are produced from vineyards around Salorno in collaboration with the local wine cooperative. Outside of Trentino, Mezzacorona also owns the Feudo Arancio winery in Sicily. The wines produced here are sometimes labeled under the brand name Stemmari, depending on the country they are sold in.
